What the Media Library Audit checks
The WordPress Media Library Audit scans your public media library via the REST API. It detects unoptimized images (non–WebP/AVIF), missing metadata (titles, alt text, tags), duplicate files, and outdated formats. No login required; works on any WordPress site with the REST API enabled.
This free tool reports:
- Image optimization — WebP/AVIF vs legacy formats (PNG, JPEG)
- Metadata — Missing or weak titles, captions, alt text, tags
- Duplicate files — Similar filenames that may be redundant
- External embeds — YouTube, Giphy, etc., in posts and pages
Frequently asked questions
What does the WordPress media audit check?
It analyzes image formats (WebP/AVIF vs PNG/JPEG), metadata (titles, captions, alt text, tags), potential duplicate filenames, and external embeds in posts and pages.
Does it work on any WordPress site?
Yes, as long as the WordPress REST API is enabled and the media endpoint is publicly accessible.
Why doesn't it work with some WordPress.com sites?
WordPress.com sites on the free plan use a different API structure, and many do not expose the media endpoint publicly. The tool works best with self-hosted WordPress sites. See the WordPress.com REST API documentation for details.
How many media files are scanned?
Up to 100 items for free. Enter your email to scan up to 500. The full library can be audited with the Mediapapa plugin inside WordPress.
